Bannies v subis

Post by skully on Mon 15 Mar 2010, 01:12

A very harmless abbreviating of "subcontinental teams" i.e. "subis" was created some years back (can't even remember if it was on C4 or here at FB) but the more humourless of our subcontinental buddies decided that they'd deem "subis" a "racist" epithet, even though it was merely a far simpler thing to type than the full 19 letter full term.

Is it inevitable that "Bannies" will suffer the same unfair treatment?

But really, a bite from Vikas ... it's just like snagging your line, surely?

Are you saying Bannies = Bangles ...?

And would that not be confused with BanIndias, which I think is a far more appropriate abbreviation, having, as I and a lot on here do, a soft spot for the Bangladeshies?.

Bannies and Banglas should never be confused

I (or anybody else on this forum, as far as I'm aware) have never referred to the Deshis as "Bannies". They have always been the Bangles or the Bangers.

Clearly Bannies are BanIndians. Let there be no doubt. Cool
